The reality of Wayland input methods in 2022 (2022)
I also know input methods work great in Ubuntu (Gnome Wayland) because Gnome supports ibus.
But the article is specifically about incompatibility of input methods among different DEs: Gnome, KDE, wlroots-based environments such as Sway and Hyprland.
After many years, ibus still doesn’t work with wlroots: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2182
The list of recommended IMEs on Sway are all WIP: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway#...
Most people use fcitx5 with Sway because fcitx5 and Sway both support input method unstable v2. But the article explains that v2 is still not universally supported among wayland DEs, and that’s why it’s problematic.

Fedora 38 Beta Released
The F38 beta is currently affected by two (mostly gaming-related) issues that you should be aware of: - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2678 -> a lot of SDL-based games have their fullscreen mode broken. The issue is bisected. - https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2480 -> Keyboard input sometimes gets stuck. Issue has already been identified and we're waiting for an ibus release.

I created a (Linux) script to easily type Unicode math everywhere.
There is also an ibus table for LaTeX (including a preview popup): https://github.com/ibus/ibus/wiki/LaTeX

A Mathematical Keyboard Layout (2018)
I wrote a small plugin for Sublime Text that allows me to enter common math symbols as unicode characters by virtue of a selection popup. So, for instance, I hit Ctrl+m, type e.g. "subs" (for subset – it does fuzzy matching), hit enter et voilà, I get "⊂".
While it works very nicely, it's of course unavailable outside Sublime, so I've been looking for alternatives and came across the following projects:

I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit
At this point what are the problems with Wayland that haven't been worked around or papered over? The only thing I can think of is colour management which is still unsolved but being actively worked on. You mentioned IMEs below which is something I've also found to be broken but this issue probably lies with the IME and not with Wayland. For example ibus doesn't yet support v2 of the input method protocol.

Damn Small Linux 2024
I was looking for a lightweight OS to run on old Asus Eee PC 1005 HA, which uses a 32-bit Intel Atom N270 processor. I installed Void Linux (https://voidlinux.org/).
I may give DSL 2024 a try and see how it compares.

How do I update one of these premade ESP32 boards?
My computer is running Void Linux and it has only a wired network connection. I can hook up my phone for USB tethering if I need to connect to the WiFi of the ESP32. How do I update the software without downloading some shady programs from filesharing site links on my system? I have the Arduino IDE and the esptool.py script installed.

Hyphens, minus, and dashes in Debian man pages
Classic "everyone is using the software wrong, but it's the fault of everyone, and not the software".
Some distros like Void seem to patch this out.[1]
From mandoc/mdocml's mandoc_char(7) [2]
In roff(7) documents, the minus sign is normally written as ‘\-’. In manual pages, some style guides recommend to also use ‘\-’ if an ASCII 0x2d “hyphen-minus” output glyph that can be copied and pasted is desired in output modes supporting it, for example in -T utf8 and -T html. But currently, no practically relevant manual page formatter requires that subtlety, so in manual pages, it is sufficient to write plain ‘-’ to represent hyphen, minus, and hyphen-minus.
Which is the common-sense thing to do.
Meanwhile, GNU projects become increasingly less relevant due to obnoxiousness like this.
In general the amount of wankery of "the correct hyphen" is staggering.

OpenSSL 1.1.1 End of Life
> but a year or 2 ago the went back to OpenSSL for some reason which I did not fully understand.
That would be Void Linux [1]. One of the reasons iirc, is PEP 644 [2], in which CPython drops support for LibreSSL due to it not being fully compatible with OpenSSL 1.1.1 APIs.

Installing Debian bookworm without systemd
> I would love if a major distro emerges
Good news for you! You have slackware [0], void [1] and alpine [3], which are widely-used non-systemd distributions with sane scripts. They are well-maintained rolling releases which allow you to use much newer versions of the kernel and packages than your typical ubuntu/debian installs. I don't particularly care about systemd, but these distros are great by themselves!

WEBKIT_DISABLE_SANDBOX_THIS_IS_DANGEROUS: Any alternatives?
I'm not a Void Linux user, let alone a maintainer of their packages but it may suffice to simple bump the version at https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/webkit2gtk/template.
I opened a PR on void-packages.
On the void-packages repo it is stated to not open issues for package updates but to make a PR instead.
What are some alternatives?
fcitx - A Flexible Input Method Framework
fcitx5 - maybe a new fcitx.
ungoogled-chromium - Google Chromium, sans integration with Google
AppImageLauncher - Helper application for Linux distributions serving as a kind of "entry point" for running and integrating AppImages
gentoo - Official Gentoo ebuild repository
nix - Nix, the purely functional package manager
sway - i3-compatible Wayland compositor
xdeb - XDEB - Convert deb (Debian) packages to xbps (Void Linux)
rofimoji - Emoji, unicode and general character picker for rofi and rofi-likes
linux-surface - Linux Kernel for Surface Devices
picom - A lightweight compositor for X11
dwm - LEV Linux's window manager (a fork of dwm)
